The fix (for 3.3.x) is known since 2012-04-20 and I find it appropriate to remind of it after more than two weeks. b) To document the bug (which makes 3.3. i.e. unusable for us) and that there are fixes in the stable mailinglist and not only in e1000-devel (especially as it isn't a e1000 specific problem). c) I met 2 colleague yesterday which had the same problems but didn't know there was a fix. c) Dave Miller is a busy man. It's unclear how one should use new kernels if it is difficult to find known fixes.
